After registering for disaster assistance, survivors may be asked to fill out a low-interest loan application with the U.S. Small Business Administration. The SBA offers low-interest disaster loans for businesses and nonprofit organizations of all sizes, homeowners and renters. Completing a disaster loan application makes it possible for homeowners and renters to be considered for additional assistance. Applicants do not have to accept the loan if they qualify.

SBA applicants may apply online at DisasterLoan.sba.gov. More information about low-interest SBA disaster loans and application forms is available online at SBA.gov/disaster or by calling 800-659-2955 (TTY users call 800-877-8339) or via email to [email protected]. Call SBA at 800-659-2955 to have an application mailed to you.
